It's Jamie Deen, and I'm back in The Chicken Box,
0:03
which means only one thing,
0:05
Theresa really needed somebody to make videos for her.
0:08
And today, we're working outta my mom's air fryer book.
0:11
This is an awesome book.
0:12
And she brought an air fryer down here for us.
0:15
The bacon wrapped cheese filled jalapenos
0:18
is a really popular item that Mom
0:22
has done for years and years.
0:23
And this goes back to all the restaurants that we've had.
0:26
Mom loves the stuffed jalapeno popper
0:29
and does 'em at her house all the time too.
0:31
This recipe makes it so easy.
0:34
The filling we're gonna use is Boursin cheese,
0:36
which we don't have to worry about making.
0:39
We're gonna wrap it in some bacon.
0:41
It's gonna be delicious.
0:42
This is really simple, but it packs huge flavor.
0:46
So what we've started with, y'all, are six jalapenos.
0:49
We've got our raw green jalapenos.
0:51
We've seeded 'em so it won't have quite enough heat.
0:54
Now there's two schools of thought here.
0:57
You can put these jalapenos into the air fryer,
1:00
blister 'em, and then peel the skin off.
1:02
It's much like chefs do in restaurants.
1:05
You put your red peppers over a open fire,
1:07
and then you peel that off and it takes that skin off.
1:10
But it's not necessary here.
1:11
I like that it's firm.
1:13
I really, really, really like
1:15
the texture of the skin on this.
1:17
So I'm not gonna go through that step.
1:18
But if you'd like to at your house,
1:20
pop these in your air fryer for four or five minutes,
1:23
you see the skin will blister.
1:24
It'll be really easy to peel off.
1:26
So we've got six here, with our Boursin cheese.
1:29
I'm gonna stuff these now.
1:31
You sure do wanna overfill these, don't you?
1:34
But you shouldn't, 'cause what you think
1:37
is gonna be extra delicious is gonna cook off
1:39
and run outta here anyway.
1:40
So keep it, I like to keep it pretty much level,
1:45
so I can keep all my cheese in here.
1:52
Okay, y'all, with this done,
1:55
we're gonna wrap it with our bacon.
1:58
So you wanna cut this bacon in half, I don't know.
2:01
I really don't mind full coverage of this, so let's see.
2:11
Can there be too much bacon?
2:14
So I'm gonna use this whole piece
2:15
and then we'll make sure we get
2:17
all of our cheese tucked up in here.
2:21
- Good catch. - Thanks.
2:22
Quick hands, like a cat.
2:25
I'm gonna secure the bacon on here with with our toothpick.
2:28
And that's gonna go right into our air fryer
2:30
for about 15 minutes.
2:31
So we're gonna take a quick break.
2:33
Let's get 'em in the oven.
2:34
When we come back, we're eating.
2:38
Okay, y'all, now that I've got all six of these wrapped,
2:41
I've sprayed this a little bit so it wouldn't stick.
2:44
Although you know this bacon's gonna create
2:46
a lot of lubrication on its own.
2:49
So we'll put these in here.
2:52
We'll go at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
3:05
And now, since I didn't wash my hands,
3:07
I have to sterilize the top of the air fryer.
3:08
Y'all stick around, we'll be eating in just a minute.
3:18
All right, y'all, we got our ding.
3:28
I think the bacon is perfect.
3:30
Oh, I love it crispy like that.
3:31
And our cheese is starting to come out of the backside.
3:35
You saw how easy this was.
3:36
It literally didn't take me any time at all.
3:39
And the air fryer makes it so convenient.
3:42
Just 10 minutes and look at these appetizers that we have.
3:48
We'll take our toothpicks out of here.
3:52
I wish I had a pretty plate to put it on.
3:54
We don't have pretty plates at The Chicken Box, y'all
3:59
- [Theresa] I like the red and white check.
4:00
- [Jamie] Yeah, beautiful.
4:01
What do you say we'll take a little test drive?
4:05
- [Theresa] Don't burn your mouth.
4:09
You know what, that's a good call, Theresa.
4:14
I'm gonna try a little bit.
4:31
The bacon, the cheese, the jalapeno.
4:33
The firmness of the skin on the jalapeno
4:35
keeps it all together.
4:36
Look how perfect that is.
4:38
This a fantastic appetizer, y'all.
4:40
And we're getting into the time of the year
4:41
when you have people over and you wanna do special things.
4:45
This is one of those special things.
4:46
The cheese stuffed jalapeno popper, y'all.
4:49
I'm Jamie Dean, this is good food.
4:51
See you around the kitchen.
4:55
